¹ tn Grk “Peter, looking directly at him, as did John, said.” The participle ἀτενίσας (atenisas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

² tn Or “More and more believers were added to the Lord.”

³ tn Or “the Sanhedrin” (the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews).

⁴ tn Or “interrogated,” “asked.”

⁴ tn Grk “and.” The context, however, indicates that the conjunction carries an adversative force.

⁵ sn They were not able to resist. This represents another fulfillment of Luke 12:11-12; 21:15.

⁵ tn Or “From the offspring”; Grk “From the seed.”

⁶ sn The phrase this man is in emphatic position in the Greek text.

⁷ tn Grk “according to [his] promise.” The comparative clause “just as he promised” is less awkward in English.

⁶ tn BDAG 437 s.v. ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase.

⁷ tn More commonly λαμπάς (lampa") means “torch,” but here according to BDAG 585 s.v. λαμπάς 2, “lamp…w. a wick and space for oil.”

⁸ sn This is best taken as a parenthetical note by the author.

⁸ tn Grk “in the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.

¹⁰ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.
